Q

Describe HTB scheme

A

Gov loan of 20% (40% in London) for first time buyers only on new builds only.

Generally will only need 5% deposit.

Price caps are dependent on regional location

Interest free for 5 years apart from £1 a month fee to keep account active.

After year 6 interest is charged at 1.75%

Can repay loan whenever you want in 2 lump sums, or 4 in London.

You have until the term of the mortgage to repay the loan. Repayment will be based on 20% of prop value at the time of repayment, so the amount you repay might increase but so has your equity in the property.

If a partner will live with you in the prop then they have to go on the HTB application

Q

How do you work out how much equity a customer can release (LTB)?

A

Value of existing property x 75%

Then minus the existing mortgage balance = amount they can release and still leave 75% equity in the property.

Can do it at 80% but would need to use lender happy with 80% LTV for let to buy
